Chansons du Soleil #8

"It's summer!" Lola Dutronic shouts out loud at their MySpace. Must be exactly the right time to put on a Chansons du Soleil by them I think. On the two previous albums Françoise Hart was the fille that sang for us. On their third 'In Berlin' (2008) Françoise has been replaced by new singer Lola Dee from Berlin. Not a bad idea at all. Her sweet, seductive voice slim fits with Richard Citroen's fun-loving and somewhat childish and eighties Lio-esque electronics.
With a title like Chanson D'été on their latest I was immediately triggered of course and although the track does well on a loungy afternoon, I prefer the sweltering athmosphere and temptation of their track Je t'aime, je t'aime for this summer.
